Glad you think so. Of course, the whole Synchronet/JavaScript thing is > new. I've been doing it for a few years now. yea, but it wasn't documented or shown in a way that i could grasp i guess. even downloading and trying synchronet out it was never evident exactly how much it could do or how. it's very complicated. it's friendly too, don't get me wrong but it's also complex. we need a 'synchronet for dummies' book or something :) - grymmjack .
